I have not read all the replies to this yet, but I am ASSUMING that most
people are like me in the fact that there are weeks where 40 hours is more
than enough and there are weeks when 50 hours is barely enough. In my case
anyway...this does not have a lot to do with my efficiency...as much as it
does whatever is going on in the office, which a large percent of the time
is out of my control.
